LXC team is very pleased to announce the release of LXC 2.0 (linuxcontainers.org)

A very good news, now just waiting for proper documentation as current one's are just series of articles. LXC gives a lot of freedom in building self contained containers using traditional server tools like juju, ansible, puppet etc. I wrote it earlier that docker made a mistake by moving away from lxc tooling but I think given their own focus on application containers it was inevitable. Now instead of focusing on complex docker tooling, developers and users can focus on real application code. It's a mouthful to learn docker, rkt, docker swarm, kubernetes, coreos tooling, mesosphere etc just to manage application. Too much to learn just to manage simple containers.


Can someone comment on the practical impact of this for people running Docker? Is Docker still using LXC by default these days? Does LXC 2.0 require a particular kernel version?


Docker hasn't used LXC for a while, so this has no impact.
